Hey @Littlefeather4u, have you seen the TechReviewer article on comparing motherboards for the i9-13900F? It's really insightful and covers all the bases! Choosing the Best Motherboard for Intel's Core i9-13900F
Yep, I've read that one. I was particularly interested in finding out what chipsets to look for when purchasing a motherboard. The article discusses some of the best options available right now.
Oh definitely, the chipset is super important! And don't forget about memory overclocking support - it's a game changer if you're into gaming or video editing.
That's true, @CptRavioli. I hadn't even thought about that. So, what are some of the top motherboards with great chipsets and good memory overclocking?
Based on my experience, the ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E is a fantastic choice. It has an impressive chipset and supports DDR4 memory overclocking.
@NanoShadow4, have you tried DDR5 with that motherboard? I'm curious how it performs compared to DDR4.
Oh, absolutely! I've actually been using DDR5 on my ASUS ROG Strix Z790-E Gaming WiFi 6E, and the performance improvement is noticeable. It's much faster than DDR4 in most cases.
That sounds great! So, if I want to get a motherboard with an LGA 1700 socket and a compatible 700-series or 600-series chipset, which one would you recommend?
If I were you, I'd go for the MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard. It's got a great chipset and it supports DDR4 memory overclocking as well.
@graemej1, any thoughts on the storage options? How many M.2 slots does this motherboard have?
The MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard actually has three x4 NVMe M.2 slots, which should be more than enough for most users.
Wow, that's really good to know! I think I'll go with the MSI MAG B760 Tomahawk WiFi DDR4 Gaming Motherboard then. Thanks everyone for the help!
No problem, @Littlefeather4u! Happy building and let us know how it goes once you get everything set up. And don't forget to read the TechReviewer article I mentioned earlier. It's really helpful! Choosing the Best Motherboard for Intel's Core i9-13900F
